Every four years our country holds a Presidential election. In 1976 we had a rather unusual situation. We had to select the man who would lead our country for the next four years. The choice was rather unique: either elect an incumbent that had never been elected or vote for a vir- tually unkown Georgia peanut farm- er-governor. For the first time, we got to see the candidates debate on television. For the first time (for many of us), we got to cast our ballots. Many of us were well-informed on both platforms and candidates.Many reflected the popular attitude of apathetic on- looking. Many attended the tele- vised debates in the Applied Arts building, but just as many made the habitual trek to the Marion, the Buck, or the Tap. No matter which category you fell into, the new Presi- dent will make decisions that will weigh heavily on us, for in the next four years we will be at that crucial starting point — getting jobs, getting settled. The Presidential election of 1976 was certainly important to all of us. Gimme Jimmy supporters. Speaking to Wisconsinites.

CLUB WORK Stout had a soccer team. This could not be at- tributed to the efforts of the athletic department, though, but only to the efforts of the players. They were not considered to be a team, but rather, a club.This meant that they had to get sponsors(The Main Place), pay their own expenses, and buy their own uniforms. They had to make their own arrange- ments to play other teams or leagues. The only prac- tice field they were allowed to use was the lawn on the side of the Tech Wing. Surprisingly, with ail of these disadvantages, the team did very well. They lost only the first game to Winona, 3-4. They beat LaCrosse, 11-0. The high- lights were the games against the U of M internation- al All-Stars. Stout ' s club defeated them both times. With Adris Khan ' s leadership as captain, Dan Pit- terle ' s organizational work, and quality players, such an Martin Foncha, the club far surpassed any expec- tations. Back in play; the throw-in.
